Video Games and Electromagnetic Pollution

Consoles such as the PS5, Xbox Series X, or even the Nintendo Switch generate a level of contaminated electromagnetic load comparable to that of a high-power router—especially during extended gaming sessions.

Beyond the game: the invisible exposure no one warns you about
The video game industry has exploded in size and scope. What was once an occasional pastime has become a daily, prolonged, and technologically complex immersion. Modern consoles, gaming PCs, and portable devices are engineered for extreme performance and continuous connectivity, turning their use into a significant source of polluted electromagnetic fields. Among the elements that contribute most to this invisible load are:

• Multi‑core processors with high power consumption

• Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless networks

• Wireless controllers, headsets, haptic sensors, and peripherals

• LED screens or large‑format monitors

• Prolonged use in enclosed spaces

Each extended gaming session exposes the user to a mix of “dirty” electricity, electric fields, magnetic fields, and radio‑frequency (RF) radiation that affects the player’s immediate environment.

Health effects in gamers exposed to EMF
Although these effects aren’t always obvious, recent studies have shown that chronic exposure to contaminated electromagnetic fields (EMFC) can cause neurological and cellular disruptions—especially in heavy gamers:

• Mental fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating

• Sleep disturbances due to reduced melatonin

• Headaches, irritability, cranial tension

• Autonomic nervous system dysregulation

• Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

These disruptions are not caused by screen glare, but by the invisible electromagnetic load circulating around the gamer’s immediate digital environment.

SPIRO® recommendations for gamers: protect without disconnecting
To keep your gaming environment electromagnetically healthy during play sessions, the key is to apply passive filtering technologies that reorganize the field without disrupting connectivity or system performance.

1. SPIRO® CARD X: direct personal protection

• Wear a SPIRO® CARD X hanging around your neck during every gaming session.

• This personal filter neutralizes the electromagnetic load generated by Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and dirty electricity in your immediate body zone.

• It’s especially effective when using the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, where the console and controllers are in close contact with your body.

• The CARD X provides a protection radius tailored to prolonged‑exposure settings such as desks, sofas, or game rooms.

2. SPIRO® SQUARE X: localized environmental protection near the console

• Place it beside your main console (PS5, Xbox, Switch in docked mode, or gaming PC).

• It filters polluted emissions from high‑performance processors, power supplies, hubs, wireless networks, and overlapping signals.

• Operates continuously and maintenance‑free, stabilizing the ambient electromagnetic field around your system.

• Also recommended for multi‑monitor desks with chargers, LED lighting, and multiple active wireless peripherals.

Conclusion
Your gaming experience should be enjoyable, immersive, and safe. To truly achieve that, you need to address the invisible impact that digital entertainment systems have on your biological environment. By properly using technologies like SPIRO® CARD X and SPIRO® SQUARE X, you can game for hours without being exposed to the polluted electromagnetic load that affects your nervous system, sleep quality, and cognitive ability. It’s not about stopping play—it’s about filtering your environment so that gaming is compatible with your well‑being.
